Banks has been working on the project for a while now, her second directing gig after Pitch Perfect 2 made enough money to make producers at Sony sit up and take notice of her behind-the-scenes career. The film has yet to cast its titular Angels, former policewomen who answer to a smooth-voiced intercom that sends them on various adventures that allow them to show off their martial arts skills, espionage prowess, and era-defining hair. The Angels last hit the screen in 2011, when ABC aired an extremely short-lived TV version.
